Hi, my name is Ava and I’m in the 4th grade. I’ve been stuttering since I can remember. When I was little, I used to apologize for stuttering. And now I regret it because you should never apologize for stuttering. Stuttering just happens and we have no control over it. One thing that really helps me is my attitude. A positive attitude is always key. Stuttering is like a speed bump in the road. Speed bumps are to remind us to slow down. A speed bump goes up and down just like our speech should. Everyone stutters sometimes no matter what. I have a sibling who talks over me, and it affects my speech. Hopefully she will grow out of this habit, and I hope your sibling, if you have one, does not do that. That’s all for now.


Signing off, Ava, 10, Wellington, FL


Hello! My name is Lincoln. I’m 9 years old. I’m in third grade and I live in Omaha, Nebraska. I like Pokémon Go,


pecans, McDonald’s, and taking care of my sister. I now have a new


interest called Breath of the Wild. If you didn’t know, it’s a Zelda game.


When I go to speech class, I feel happy to work on stuttering and feel ready to start the rest of my day.
